We are four humble men who love sports, but hate sports commentary. Peter Gammons is our hero and John Madden is our enemy. If you were to ask us our purpose, our answer would be simple: "We are forever locked in Mortal Kombat for the souls of sports fans everywhere. Statistics are our science and 'the immeasurable character of men' is the obsolete religion of blind faith. Our job is to prove that God doesn't exist and that athletes are merely cold, metal machines with no hearts or souls."

Dick Wood
I always find it strange when I realize one of my favorite baseball players first name, isnt really his first name. How shocked were you when you realized Chipper Jones was actually Larry Jones. Or Ken Griffey Jr was actually George Griffey Jr. Just doesnt have the same zing to it. Well today i came across Angels prospect brandon wood. Most known for hitting 43 homers in the minors as a 20 year old short-stop. He will probably never be a regular major leaguer, given his K rate, and inability to actually play shortstop, or any position for that matter. Apparently his given first name is actually Richard Wood. I can see why he would change it. A man can only take so many Dick Wood jokes before he snaps and goes on an LSD binge
